POETRY IS WHAT THE SOULS OF THE ANCIENTS SPEAK TO THOSE STILL SEEKING WHAT IS MOST BEAUTIFUL IN THE WORLD. FROM: LINDA

Thank you very much to Editors Shirley Bell, Steve Cawte, and Ed Chandler of Impspired for publishing three of my poems.

Here is one of the poems:



Dogs of War Conquered

So great that you could overcome
that which you thought you couldn’t,
your internal dogs of war.

While others raged on,
you decided to watch their actions
without heeding their shrill bark of words,
and the truth became exposed.

You had the wisdom to know when to walk away
and you did so with head held high,
using the most considerable dignity 
that could be summoned.

Now, use your new found freedom ,my friend,
freedom to sit in that chair
by your open window,
and to drink your tea,
and to hear silence.

And lest you think I am not taking you seriously,

I well know the price you paid to get here.
